Gian’s Share of the Review:
Jah’s brother was the one who took care of my check-in. He was very quiet but very efficient in what he was doing. The room was on the top floor of the building, and being heavy-set, I have to admit that it was a challenge for me going up and down the stairs. In spite of this, I appreciated how clean and tidy the room was. The air-conditioning unit, TV,toilet and bathroom unit were all functioning, and the bed was comfortable. I am so glad we had windows so we could have natural light during the day. Also, the high table and chair were very much what we needed for some of our stuff.
I appreciated that there was breakfast and water available for all guests to consume at any time.
Towards the end of our trip, we had the chance to meet the host herself, Jah, and she was nothing short of amazing! She was sweet and generous in sharing her time and her life experiences with us. While we were talking, she found out that my father died recently, and she was so compassionate and kind in giving me a hug, rubbing my back, and telling me I do not need to apologize to anyone for grieving the way I do. She wished me well and we have remained in contact even though I’ve already checked out.
Not all hosts can maintain a level of professionalism yet also create a personal connection with guests, and Jah is one of those rare ones. She’s a diamond in the rough.
(Also, at the very last minute, she gave me this really sturdy paper bag where I could place some of the stuff I shopped for at the last minute.)
Jah is a kick-ass host with a colorful personality, and a great hometel. I would book a room should I be back in Bangkok again.
